HA so it’s a shortish chapter and all dialogue but it’s got to happen to set up the next thing. so.

chapter 2, on AO3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/28876890/chapters/71178306

Aiden gets Unwittingly Heteronormative, briefly; meanwhile Keira is not excited to get relationship advice from Philippa.

Philippa gave her a long look. “You’re a glutton for punishment, Keira,” she said. “Why do you let people treat you so badly?”

“I’m not letting anyone treat me badly,” Keira said, stung, “except maybe you.”

Philippa gestured with one hand, as if this illustrated her point. Well, it did, somewhat. “I’ll see you next week,” she said, with a small wry smile.

It was Lambert’s journal, the book he carried with him to write down what happened. “Hey,” he said, annoyed. Everything he wrote in it was ciphered, but Aiden knew some of the ciphers. But Aiden also knew that the book was private.

“I just felt the need to double-check some of your data,” Aiden said, very clearly deciding to be an ass instead of apologizing.

“That’s private,” Lambert said, reaching for the book.

“I died, Lamb,” Aiden said, putting up a hand to stop him.

“Fuck you,” Lambert said, because it fucking worked, he felt a pang in his chest and couldn’t bear to wrestle Aiden over the book. (Your picture was not posted)
